Comments on: Jay Gruden decides to pass up head coaching interviews http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/10/jay-gruden-decides-to-pass-up-head-coaching-interviews/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 00:58:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ktravp http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/10/jay-gruden-decides-to-pass-up-head-coaching-interviews/#comment-1505655 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:58:02 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=178705#comment-1505655 I have been impressed with Jay and think he can be even more productive with the pickup of a decent guard and RB. My long term concern for the Bengals is actually Marvin Lewis. I appreciate his defensive-minded approach to football, but at times it has cost us dearly. If you review the regular season game against the Texans, we had the lead in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter. We switched to a “burn the clock” type offense and it came back to bite us. It’s the same philosophy that almost cost us the Arizona game and it’s cost us many loses thru the Lewis years in Cincy. Hopefully, Jay can have an influence on Marvin (or Marvin can simply be fired) and they can start running the Offense like an Offense and not a Defense.

The secondary was horrible all year. Leon gets burnt and clements is a good leader but too old to cover a rookie or young guy and crocker omg talk about no help over the top…. ever i was so happy to see pacman yelling at crocker. Pacman did get burnt that one play but he has so passion and can make plays!

With what the coaches and players were able to do in such a short amount of time to prepare is an amazing accomplishment. I support Marvin and think he’s been tremendous doing what a GM would be doing for other organizations by building a team and personnel. However I question if he has the killer instinct to compete with the NFL elite and succeed in the playoffs. Too many times the Bengals have played down to their competitors level, and have been unable to rise up against better opponents. I believe that his decision to challenge plays in the Texans playoff game show that he had very little belief that his team would be able to win that game. We will see what next season holds with a few good draft picks and free agent signings, the balance of power could shift back to Cincinnati next season. WHO-DEY!

If they could somehow draft someone like LaMichael James, he could have an even scarier offense.

No OC in the world can teach confidence in the pocket to a QB.

Lots of ability, football sense and player management, No need now to take any job just to be a HC, God forbid he end a first gig like Raheem Morris.

He probably isn’t ready to be a HC and he knows it. If he were to to look like an idiot as HC he may not get another shot so better to build the resume and learn.

Just ask Brian Schottenheimer. He was a hot candidate the last two years and now nobody will touch him with a ten foot pole

Good for Cincy he’s staying. One year in the NFL does not automatically make a HC.

Gruden has been very good this year. What he has done with an very young group is a credit to him. Hopefuly we can get some more pieces in the draft OG / RB would be very nice.

In the meantime, let’s also hope he gets some decent backs. Benson really doesn’t cut it – he’s gotten 1,000+ three years’ running through sheer volume/persistence – he’s not a very good runner.

I’ve been rooting for these guys since the early ’70s and – like Andrew Wintworth – this is the first time in a number of years I’ve had hope…

I’d think he would want to build his resume before jumping into head coaching after a year in the league and possibly ruining his name.
